One touch and one silence

In the palace, the fake Zhuo Yichen, who was wearing a human skin mask, was directly captured by the guards sent by the emperor.

The visitor first reported to Nan Shu, and then went directly to where Zhuo Yichen lived.

It was not until Nan Shu looked at this man that he felt something was a little unnatural and a little bit wrong. Zhuo Yichen was calm and self-controlled, so how could this man be so scared?

It was Shi Yu who discovered something was wrong. He walked up to the fake Zhuo Yichen, lifted his face with his hand, and found a clue by his ear.

Shi Yu directly lifted the human skin mask on his face, revealing the person inside.

"It's not Master Zhuo himself. He must have escaped."

Only then did Nan Shu realize that he had already escaped that day.

Those people are really capable of taking advantage of the hair crown. No wonder the prince told her not to be alone with that person before leaving.

The leading guard did not stop. His Majesty ordered him to arrest someone, but the person ran away. If they really failed to catch him, they would be held responsible for dereliction of duty.

"Go chase them first! Interrogate the rest of you!"

After he gave all the instructions, the leader of the Royal Guard bowed and apologized to Nan Shu.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Princess. This matter is urgent, so we'll take our leave now!"

Before he could finish his words, the two people he had just captured suddenly fell to the ground twitching, with a trace of blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Oh no! They committed suicide by taking poison!"

The man simply pried open the mouths of the two corpses and saw poisonous fangs hidden inside.

"It seems that they are trying to buy time for their young master, so hurry up and chase them!"

The commander of the Imperial Guard knew that the secret guards under His Majesty were also keeping an eye on that man. Now he had no choice but to look for those secret guards sent by His Majesty.

"Farewell!"

No one noticed that Shi Yu was watching these people go away with a smile on his face.

The eyesore is finally gone!

Now he is the only one with the most power!

Thinking of the message that person had given him, asking him to marry the princess at all costs, otherwise...

Thinking of this, his expression turned cold.

"Princess, please take a rest. You must have been frightened today."

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he turned to Jiu'er and gently instructed, "Miss Jiu'er, please go back and make some soothing soup for the princess."

"Don't worry, my lord. Jiuer knows."

Nan Shu left with the maids, and Shi Yu stood there and watched quietly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, formed a circle in front of Shi Yu, and blew away the leaves in front of him.

Shi Yu smiled lightly, deliberately stepped on the drifting leaves, and walked away slowly.

The weather in early autumn is already a little chilly.

The man who had been running in the mountains didn't know how many days had passed.

Did the rest of his men escape?

He left traces along the way, and those people will find him sooner or later.

Until he came to a cliff, the two mountains should have been connected, but this place seemed to disappear out of thin air, as if it was originally a cliff. It was just the rocks that fell underground that clearly told others that there was once a mountain here, but there was an accidental landslide.

He looked at the deep cliff with his eyes extremely deep. It seemed that this road was blocked.

"Master Zhuo!"

"You really made it easy for us to find you!"

Zhuo Yichen turned his head and looked at the secret guards chasing after him. He was sure that all his men had died at the hands of these people.

"You are really good dogs. How could you find this?"

Lingyi didn't get angry when he heard this man scolding him.

"Look at what you are saying, sir. Even a fool would know that you would not take such a bright road, but would walk into this deep mountain forest."

"We have to thank Master Zhuo for the bodies of the dead animals left behind. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have found you." Lingyi said it nicely but he was cursing in his heart, thinking, this kid is so cunning. He made them chase the horse for so long and walked such a long way. Fortunately, his men are smart.

Zhuo Yichen's face darkened.

I didn't expect it was because of this.

"There are so many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains. How do you know that they are not eating it?"

When Lingyi heard this, he burst into laughter.

"It seems that a young master is a young master. Do you think those jackals, tigers and leopards can't even eat a bird or a rabbit?"

"They eat it with the skin and bones."

Zhuo Yichen didn't expect that a small mistake would expose him.

He drew the soft sword from his waist, his eyes full of murderous intent.

In the current situation, it's either he dies or I die. Since I'm your majesty's secret guard, I will inevitably die.

But...

Haha! Even if he died, he would not let these people have an easy life.

"Come on! Let me, the Third Master, experience the true strength of your secret guards!"

When Lingyi heard this, he sneered.

"Brothers, let him see your true power."

I really thought that they couldn't defeat him last time, they just wanted to find out how many people this guy had in secret.

I really thought they had no strength.

Zhuo Yichen stopped talking nonsense and looked at the men in black rushing towards him with great calmness.

The soft sword was in his hand, and he wielded it as flexibly as a snake.

Soon, the tip of the sword was stained with blood, and two cuts appeared on Zhuo Yichen's clothes.

Lingyi no longer showed mercy and fought for half an hour, but this man was not at a disadvantage. It seemed that his martial arts skills were not weak, and were even better than Lingyi's.

A group of men in black surrounded Zhuo Yichen, and countless swords were stabbing at him. Just when the group was fighting fiercely, Zhuo Yichen tiredly revealed a flaw.

By the time he reacted, he was suddenly kicked hard in the back.

Zhuo Yichen was kicked to the ground, and even the soft sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Humph! All you know is sneak attacks!"

After saying this, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the group of men in black opposite him.

He looked up at the cliff behind him again. The wind was blowing his clothes up. Even the dirt on his face could not hide his handsome appearance.

At this moment, he understood!

Today is the day he dies!

Thinking about everything that happened over the years, it doesn’t seem like a loss.

Pity!

I wish I had known that I didn’t see my mother for the last time!

I knew earlier...

He looked back at the people approaching him, and thought about his current ending, which was brought about by a child.

If he had another chance, he would tear that man into pieces!

Zhuo Yichen's eyes turned cold and he leaned back expressionlessly.

He would rather end his own life than let others kill Zhuo Yichen.

My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of others!

Ling Yi looked at Zhuo Yichen who jumped into the abyss, with a hint of calmness on his indifferent face, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go down and search, if he's alive, we must find him, if he's dead, we must find his body."

In almost an instant, the secret guards behind him quickly retreated.

Lingyi looked at the soft sword on the ground, kicked it up, caught it with his hand, turned around and left without mercy.

The sounds of swords and sabers on the mountain had long since disappeared, leaving only the remaining wind blowing through the forest.

Far away in the capital's Qian'an Temple, an old man with a white beard was leisurely drinking wine when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He stretched out his hand and calculated for a while, then his face changed drastically. He stopped drinking, ran into the house, took out a bottle from the secret compartment, and ran out directly.

The little monk behind him looked at the master who suddenly ran away and quickly reached out to shout.

"Master! Where are you going?"

"Master, wait for me!"

"Master, the abbot asked you not to go out recently!"

The Master Yuanshan mentioned above would never care about this.

Without even turning his head, he gave instructions to the little monk behind him.

"Go back and tell your abbot that something big is going to happen!"
